My weight had been fluctuating a lot over the last few months (stress). So over the last few weeks I have made sure to stock up on my fruit and veggies and to take my vitamins to combat any damage I might have done. And now, I already see and feel great results. Not much on the weight loss department bc I have not started working out again(my new consultant wants me to not wash my hair I will chat more about that soon) but my skin is soft and glowing, my nails are growing super fast and I am regular if you know what I mean.
Fish oil- while I was pregnant I discovered all the benefits of having omega 3 fatty acids and fish oil is an excellent source of it esp. since I won’t cook salmon everyday. Again it helps with the big C’s, also improves memory, focus and relieves signs of depression.
Super B complex- for stress bc it gives me the energy to combat the daily stresses in life. Most importantly, the b vitamins help with cell rejuvenation, deficiencies can look like dry/ grey skin, wrinkles, acne, dermatitis, rashes, falling hair and weak, splitting nails. I swear I was suffering from most of those symptoms a few months ago.
LeVive Juice- it has a mixture of the top 5 antioxidant producing fruit in one product; Pomegranate, Goji, Acai, Noni and Mangosteen. I take a shot of it in the morning bc it does increase energy. Along with giving me healthy hair, skin and nails it controls blood sugars so that I have less of an urge to overeat.
Since I want to grow long sexy locs, I love that the above vitamins/supplements help with hair growth and for that purpose I am going to start drinking the wheat grass smoothies that Blaqkofi recommends on her site here.
Wheatgrass- Detoxifies and cleanses your body, helps balance your body’s pH level and strengthens your immune system
Now Big D, my hubby,
What vitamins/ supplements do you recommend and what results have you seen?
I take a multivitamin and it has defitely helped me with my weight loss. I am thinking of trying wheat grass, bc i heard GREAT things about that, some ppl swear by it. Other than that, the omega 3s are a defintiely good thing, although I get mine from flaxseed oil (im vgan), but I havent been taking those, hmmm maybe I should start that up again bc I have been noticing some creepy skin stuff since the pregnancy! Could be hormones, but omegas 3s helped me a LOT before...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tips, and I can't wait to read about why your consultant doesn't want you to wash your hair too often...
ReplyDeletePregnancy and breastfeeding really did a number on my skin, I think part of that was hormones and part of it was the baby taking everything from me.
ReplyDeleteBajan- I switched consultants and I told her about my prior experience and she is wondering if my hair is diff to lock so she asked me not to wash it. It has been 3 weeks and my hair is needing a wash.....bad. I go tomorrow and I can't wait to write about it.
ooooooooooooooooh... I'm with you now (didn't see this before I posted on your more recent post - sorry). I think it's super cool that she washed it for you too!
ReplyDeleteps how old is your baby?
